Thank you so much for the tips and advice, Texas Splash. My OCLT lost 0.6ppm (from FC 4.8 to 4.2ppm), although I admit my morning test was slightly later than I would've liked, at 7:15am when there was a tiny bit of sun on one corner of the pool (but my evening test was at 10pm when the sun was...

Okay, so it sounds like my FC levels should not be dropping like that (from 4 to 2 each day), and if it is, I need to figure out why. Here's what I'm thinking: my pump has been running 24/7 for a week so it can't be that, but I should do the OCLT to rule out algae, and if algae is ruled out (my...

Or do I add liquid chlorine first, then test FC again, let them swim, then test the FC again, and run the SWG later after they're done swimming for the time specified in PoolMath for the last FC level? Sorry I'm so confused.

Okay, so I add liquid chlorine right away to get it to the right level per PoolMath, but then I'm also at the same time running the SWG for the time specified per PoolMath? So I'm essentially using both methods at the same time? This is the part I'm confused about.

Followup question as I'm still trying to find my groove with my SWG: if my FC is falling between 2-2.5 when I check it before kids want to go swimming (when FC was 4 the previous day), do I raise it by adding liquid chlorine or just run my SWG for longer according to PoolMath and trust that it...

I forgot to mention that I tested the salt levels to be at 2600ppm just before we turned on the SWG.

Thank you so much for the quick reply, and for giving me the confidence to just turn on the SWG! It's connected and on right now with no errors as of yet. The SWG manual says at initial startup, to set it on the BOOST cycle, which runs it for 8x the programmed time (3 hrs in our case), kind of...

I'm new to pool maintenance the TFP way, and have learned a TON just from reading articles and searching for answers in the forums. I'm at the point where I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and could use direct help. We opened our pool just a few days ago and have operated as a bleach pool. Dumped...
